CAR LOAD RATES.

Eastern jobbers at the great trade cen
tres on the Atlantic coast have applied
to the Inter state Commerce Commission
for the ablition of car load rates and the
substitution of one hundred pounds as the
unit on which to base freight charges
The object is apparent. 1t is to raise
rates SO high that the competition of in
terror and western jobbers will be over
come. The business men all over the
country outside of eastern ports have
awakened to the serious consequences
which would result from such a course,
and are showering remonstrances in on the
commission from all directions. The Pio-
neer Press commenting on the proposition
says:
Scattering all over the country, but par
ticularly gathered in the centers of dis
tribution and supply, there are wholesal-
ing and iobbing interests representing
many millions of dollars. They have been
built up under conditions which warrant
ed that investment of capital. Those con-
ditions, aside from the natural demand Of
the people for commodities, are manly two;
through rate lower than any competing
local rate, and lower tariff on shipments
in carload lots Had these not existed, it
is safe to say that the millions of the West
would still be supplied in great measure,
by purchases made In New York, Boston
and other Eastern seapOrts. The removal
of those conditions would mean an annihi-
lation of business interests greater than
what would follow an instantaneous transi-
tion from a high protective tariff to abso
Lutte free trade. One of them is already
gone The long haul clause of the inter
state commerce bill has abolished the low
through freight rate. The carload rate
supplies the single basis upon which the
jobbers of the interior are now enabled to
do business at living profit Before this
is attacked, it is right for the commission
and the people to consider the conse-
quences. There would not be the scat
tering among smaller towns of the whole |
sale trade now largely concentrated in
cities, but the total transfer of that busi-
ness, whether done on large or small scale, |
to the great houses of the East. If these |
could supply the retail trade in small |
amounts at precisely the same terms which |
the western iobber is now able to make, by
reason of the small margin furnished by the |
over carload rates, then there would be no
,eason for purchasing hundred weight of |
merchandise at first hands west Of New
York. We are persuaded that the com
mission will hesitate long before authoriz-
ng any such wholesale confiscation of |
most important portion of this country's
industry.

| EDITOR HENDRIE of the Independent is
off on vacation but that he has left no
novice at the helm of that excellent jour
nal is proven by the following article
headed bribery and Self-Protection." I"
The article is worth reproduction in every
journal in the country which is devoted
to the interests of the people; and, who
ever the writer is, we most cordially en-
dorse every word he has so we'll and truth
fully expressed. The following is the ar
ticle: 1.-The Railway Age Of late date
implies that the buying of legislators by
railroad companies to protect themselves
from hostile and unscrupulous Legislation
is the same method practiced and APPROX
ed of in connection with the lawmaking
upon other matters, and that railroad
mapnate who did not thus protect his
company if it was attacked would be de-
relict in his duty to the stockholders
The sentiments expressed editorlaliy by
the Railway Age and also In an article
by some high railway officials shows the
depth of degradation to which the busl-
ness interests of this country is being
dragged. When such doctriees as those
expressed in the Railway Age can be
thus publicly upheld, when the develop
ments made by the Pacific railroad in
vestigating committee does mot send the
men involved to eternal infamy, when
men can remain in the United States
senate although covered with the filth OF
bribery, it is time to consider whether
this country is not developing" too rap
idly. This disregard of manhood, this loss
of the principles of true honor, is due IN
a considerable degree to the influence OF
corporations AS has been truly said,
corporations have no souls" and there
fore cannot be punished for violation OF
the laws of common morality. The men
connected with corporations have grown
into the idea that they can shift the sins
Of bribery and similar crimes upon the
company, relieving themselves person
ally of responsibility, certainly most
fatal error. The tendency of large busl-
ness houses to incorporate is materially
increasing the spread of the ideas which
railroad corporations inaugurated. These
evil influences have their effect through |
all the branches of service of these com
pan1es. The false principles acted upon
by the managers Of the companies in
their relations to the public become the
models upon which the employees act to-
ward the companies, SO that certain |
classes Of work are becoming notorious
for corruption from top to bottom
Surely it is time to call halt"

MURAT HALsTEAD, who has just return
ed from Europe, saw Mr.. Blaine at Ham
burg about two weeks ago, aud expresses
the opinion that the question of his candi-
dacy will depend more upon his enemies
than his friends. If Blaine is abused
much within the next few months, Mr.
Halstead thinks he will jump into the
stadium and make the dust fy.-Pioneer
Press.
Mr.. Blaine can prepare to jump, if abuse
is all that is needed to urge him on. He
is getting more of that from his political
friends than from his enemies. A stadi-
um is Greek measure of length, equal to
6O6 feet, 9 inches. Well bet that Jim, if
he is little stiff, can jump 9 inches, while
some better man is getting over the COG
feet. Let the dust-fy!

In our dispatches yesterday we noticed
that district assembly No. 40, Knights OF
Labor of New York, passed resolutions
asking the governor of Illinois to commute
the sentence of the seven Chicago anar-
chists. A committee was also appointed
to collect money to aid the condemned
men. We fail to see how this organiza-
ton, or any part of it, can lend itself to
this work. The laboring men, more than
any other class should be interested in
seeing the majesty of the law upheld.
Without q proper enforcement of the laws
of the country what have laboring men to
depend upon? Il the principles taught
by the now organized bands of anarchists
IN the United States were to prevail every
industrial pursuit in the land would be
paralyzed, labor left without adequate
employment, and untold suffering ensue.
These men we're not tried and convicted
simply because they entertained anarchist
principles, but because they practiced
them, and in doing SO they became red
handed murderers. Not for what they
believed or said were they tried and con-
victed, but for what they did. A murder
er is murderer, whether he belong to
the anarchists, the Knights of Labor, the
Masonic fraternity or church organiza-
ton; and when he deliberately plans to
commit the act and does it, he puts him
self without the pale of any association to
which he may belong unless that associa-
tion acknowledges murder as its creed. As
much as capital punishment is to be de-
plored it has been found necessary in all
ages in order to protect society. 1t is one
of natures laws which says to man or
beast, kill if necessary to save ones own
life. Society is but an association of in
dividuals representing the lives of many,
protected by written laws drawn from
those first unwritten natural laws that
came into existence when life was put up
on this earth. And laws must be respect
ed, else existence is no longer desirable, If
it were possible. The trial Of these men
and the final affirmation of their death
sentence has been delayed for year and
half and fought through court after
court There has been no undue haste.
and there is no doubt but that the final
decision is just one. It is the duty of
every good citizen to sustain the "calm
and inexorable judgement of the law"

THE exploits of Dick Turpin and Six
teen-String Jack are being eclipsed these
latter days by train robbers ali over the
country The latest is from Texas where
occurrences of that kind seem to be more
common than in other states, owing prob
ably to it's greater area and broader mind
ed men If this robbing business has to
go on, we rather incline to the Texas way
of doing it in business like manner, as
given in our dispatches to-day. They went
right to the express car, transacted their
business with the express agent, and,
without disturbing the passengers, allow
ed the train to proceed. This makes the
general public feel like it was playing
even" on the express companies.

We observe that the nautical sporting
fraternity are suspicious of the Scotch
clipper yacht, Thistle. It is feared that
there is secret machinery in her hold for
aerating water on her keel, or some mar
velous contrivance for propelling her fast
Ell than the wind will drive her. This
would be very naughty, even in nautical
affair, and her owner, Mr.. James Bell,who
is now in New York, says the yacht will be
taken out of the water week before the
race that the curious may examine her.
But this suspicion suggests thought. If
there is anything to be gained in naviga-
tion by supplying common air along the
keel of the vessel by means of machinery
what affect would it have to add little
oil and lubricate the water over which
she is to glide? It strikes us it would
make things a little smooth. We do not
suggest this because we live on navigable
water and are therefore naughty -cally in
clined.
